Oceaneering Entertainment Systems is a manufacturer of dark Ride systems and other amusement devices.

History

Oceaneering Entertainment Systems (a subsidiary of Oceaneering International) was founded in 1992 after the acquisition of Eastport International Inc.[1] Eastport specialized in remote-operated vehicles and underwater robotics. Due to this, Universal Studios contracted them to create new animatronics for Jaws, as the previous ones experienced frequent downtime.[2] With their newfound experience and interest in the themed entertainment industry, Oceaneering Entertainment Systems expanded to dark rides and other amusement ride systems.[3]
